Question

which of the following statements best describes how a nonpolar covalent bond will form? when the bonding atoms do not equally share electrons when the bonding atoms equally share electrons when one atom gains an electron in the bond when one atom loses an electron in the bond

Explanation:

A non - polar covalent bond forms when the electronegativity difference between the bonding atoms is zero or very small, resulting in equal sharing of electrons. Unequal sharing leads to polar covalent bonds. One atom gaining or losing an electron in a bond is characteristic of ionic bonds.

Answer:

When the bonding atoms equally share electrons
